I must admit that when it comes to subjects like this I have no idea if they are What If or Real World. So apologies if it is the later.

I missed getting my Japanese X-29 FSW model into the 2023 Whiffie nominations thread by a few hours last year. :(
But if anybody wants to nominate it for the 2024 Whiffie nominations, here's a pic and link.

Normally we don't nominate our own models although technically you don't nominate it here.
I must say, it is a very "interesting" work around the rules. :-\ :-\
I'll leave it up to the community to decide if anyone wants to nominate it,
TomZ
I'll do it! :thumbsup:

In response to the first part: It has happened before, though
very ...
extremely rarely but I don't think there's a rule against self-nominating.
As to the second part: Yes, we do! Where else does one nominate a build for the Whiffies? :unsure:
OK, Consider it nominated then!

Ahh, but that's when you start modelling. Whatever you produce it's highly likely to be a "What-If" and probably a "WT*" !

Thank You. And I do excel in ships. It's probably the only category of models I do best in when building, taking to contests, or anything else.
No other category I've tried like Aircraft, Sci-Fi, Dioramas, etc. comes close.
